"The Americans were startled once again when tragic news break out about the deadly campus shooting in Oregon on Thursday. However, the United States is "the only advanced country on earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months," just like President Barack Obama has painfully acknowledged. How come a country as powerful as the United States has been unable to stop this kind of brutal attacks against innocent civilians?

“We got a catered meal of hot dogs and hamburgers as our thanks while others, I’m sure, got big bonuses."

The average retest period following crashes similar to that in August have bottomed an average of 27 days after the crash…that would be Friday .

We are a product of our time and place. We live in a dystopian future that makes Brave New World look positively mundane in comparison. Mass shootings are the natural outcome of a society that mentally shackles its population while pumping it full of psychotropic drugs and violent imagery. It tells us to turn away from bullying while it dumps payloads of high explosives on hospitals and schools. It tells us to empathize with women while objectifying them via pornography.

Amid the migrant crisis in Europe, and the Czechs pulling people off trains and writing on their arms, a French municipality launched a probe into an Auxerre elementary school’s use of yellow tags to identify students who do not eat pork. "It's revolting. It brings back memories of dark times," noted one member of the Auxerre town council, but the mayor’s office said it was "an isolated, clumsy and unfortunate initiative."

"They’re hopping mad in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. And Qatar because of their defeat and the victory of Russia and Syria and the unraveling of the fact that the U.S. and its allies are not serious about fighting Islamic State. Those who claim to be concerned about the Syrian people are the ones slaughtering the Syrian people through the terrorists."

"Australia has benefited from China’s growth over the past decades, but has become a less diversified and commodity dependent economy in the process. It is now exposed to China’s slowdown, and may be unable to re-engineer itself quickly enough to avoid the end of the commodity super-cycle. The worst is yet to come, in our view."
